Since this is the extension of SMI TI/MI/0036 mentioned above after the failure of same due to poor work manship in Srirangam-Tiruchchirapalli Town stations of Southern Railway on dated 17.08.2012. But after the incidence of Surat-Udhna section of Western Railway on dated 24.05.2017 the use of Insulated Catenary wire has restricted completely. Hence this instruction is also taken to be superseded. Please refer TRD circular and Technical Discussions column for better insight and recent instruction of RB No. 2003/RE/161/1/Vol. III/Pt dated 19.06.2017 of the use of contact wire piece in place of it.
